phf: i wouldn't blame "children!" on alan kay
though, he's a product of piaget's huge influence on post-hippie american academia
mircea_popescu: "what sort of blackguard would dare propose
that if you give children dildos
they'd put it in playdo ?!
THAT IS NOT WHERE ID EVER STICK A DILDO!
THIS IS WRONGOG!!!"
a111: Logged on 2017-07-18 22:58 asciilifeform: whaack is quite likely
thinking of
the bulk of
the b00k, which consists of blockcipher liquishit which is complicated for no reason at all other
than
the religion where 'it is confusing
to ME, author, and
therefore Must Be Hard
To Break'
mircea_popescu: tesla invented
the car anyway, i was just making a point, ~in
the structuralist style~.
mircea_popescu: there's nothing intrinsically black about jazz new orleans, except for
the part where
the black people were
the only poor enough
to still have
to entertain
themselves.
mircea_popescu: black culture used
to create music at a
time white culture was no longer for
the same reason as
the above :
they were poor and retarded and didn't have music
time-travel boxes.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-06 14:47 mircea_popescu: anyway,
to put some meat on
the bones of "works with cca 2015 vintage drivers, and
them only." : incorrect vintage drivers manage
to literally fuck
the chip, i have never seen dma errors before in
teh logs, now have i seen chips refusing
to
turn back on and in general hardware level spew, "wrong mode d3", "error -5" etc.
mircea_popescu: but anyway,
to revisit
the literacy angle... "congrats on creating
the music recording box, mr.
tesla.
the side benefit is
that in a short
time
there won't be any musicians worth recording left, because of
the competition
to
their craft your
time
travelling device produces will destroy
the very economic reason for
their continued existence".
mircea_popescu: well, you're reading
the spew of a markov process with expectations of
terminologic propriety ?!
mircea_popescu: phf i have nfi
that such a
thing as post-structuralism happened in ru. at any rate prior
to nuland help.
phf: i wonder if lotman's post-structuralism is same as
the french, or if it's
that only in a sense
that it's post. anyway,
this is cool and i'm going
to pick up his other shit next
time i'm in moscows
mircea_popescu: but in
the end -- no human invention was actually useful. just relatively useful.
mircea_popescu: this position is not without its merit. of course it also proposes literacy as
the end of literature ("since
they can write
their shit
to paper,
they don't write anythingt worth remembering").
a111: Logged on 2016-12-21 18:32 mircea_popescu: because no, words don't "have meanings". your meanings for ANY WORD are a function of ALL
THE OTHER WORDS YOU KNOW. which is why my definitions regularily blow out english dictionaries, wikipedia and other sources of "wisdom" out of
the water - i know more words, and in
this knowledge i know all
the words i know ~better~. infinitely and irreproducibly so.
mircea_popescu: (large portion of what informs "cultural marxism" bla bla on social media
today, but
that's hardly
their fault.)
☟︎ phf: i didn't know yuri lotman was a semiotician, back in high school i had
to go
to sleep with lotman literary analysis books, like
those vietnam conscripts with
their rifles

the complex flavours of
the shitpie
that is linux until
they learn
that
there 's ~an automated process~
to produce "compatibility" driver bundles for "old" kernels, out of
the building blocks of
two kernels and a driver. now -- ask

mircea_popescu: amusingly enough, i could see
the paralel between alf's (not entirely unsuported in practice) notions of "useful physics --
turn of
the century, einstein-centric" and "useless physics -- string
theory" and semiology/semiotics.
mircea_popescu: not
that
this distinction's with
THAT much difference in context.
mircea_popescu: phf no
that is
the other one. semiology is
the a c de saussure
thing.
mircea_popescu: semiology,
theory of signs, signifying and significance.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman
the situation somewhat salvaged by
the happenstance
that you can't be any of
those under about 60 years of age or so. (with exceptions, but
they're rare enough).
mircea_popescu: i almost felt like an alf for five minutes before running away screaming
to
the numeric method.
diana_coman: perhaps; I'm not sure
though
that current
theorist/linguist/semiologist/gnoseologist/etc necessarily knows what
they are supposed
to know
mircea_popescu: anyway,

☟︎ mircea_popescu: the soviet-ness of
this epic wastage of resources is mindblowing.
mircea_popescu: so everyone who has any clue as
to how any of
this shit works and why is busy derping about "intersectional queeritude" among
the DD/lg crowd of paci sucklers,
a111: Logged on 2018-02-02 22:58 mircea_popescu: mod6 he has no idea ; it's not expensive considering what
the actual cost per round is. add in all
the capital costs, including
the fact you're wasting your
time
there rather
than diddling
the local highschool girls' volleyball
team...
mircea_popescu: all
the problems of computer "engineers" would be directly evident
to any literary
theorist / linguist / semiologist / gnoseologist /
theorist of language / historian of philosophy / etcetera. except for
the
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-02#1780289 problem, where
they all preferred
to chase
the cuntherd instead of paying any attention whatsoever
to
the nonsense dribbling off
the red stapler guys crowd.
☝︎ diana_coman: oh, was it supposed
to be coherent and not self-contradictory? I missed
that part,lol
mircea_popescu: in
the end, "foss" is not any more coherent, or intellectually respectable,
than christianity.
diana_coman: more like
they don't have a notion of "working indefinitely" or even of more
than
tomorrow
mircea_popescu: now, why
the fuck
they'd use an implicit grammar-lexicon bundle like
this, i have no fucking idea. but
the fact
that
they ~shouldn't~ (which
they should not) is NOT opposable
to me! since
they do, i have my argument!
mircea_popescu: it's seem
to me
that by
the semantics of
the bizarro world
these gnus inhabit, something working is a promise for
that something
to keep working. because
the criteria by which
they use
things is "hey -- it works" ("we believe in rough consensus and working code", in in-universe
terms), and
therefore... everything
that ever works
thereby promises
to keep on working indefinitely and for any possible usecase.
mircea_popescu: "but mp, you don't understand how
the world works" "what is
the meaning of '''new''' in
the context of '''similar enough
to old for
this scheme
to work''' "oh, it doesn't PROMISE
to stay
that way!
this pile just works as long as it does!" "which isn't a promise ? and if it stops working, what,
time for linux-backports-compat-compat, a set of scripts
to update
the set of scripts
that updates...?" "YES!"

☟︎ diana_coman: I'll soon do
the regrind of eucrypt
to move it on
to keccak hashes; my plan is
to keep
the patches precisely as
they are otherwise (i.e. including NO manifest until I actually added it at
the end);
the way I see it, it's just a swap-in-place of one hash for another; if anyone sees
this sort of
thing differently - since I'm hmmm,first
to regrind a big project? - yell now !
☟︎ mircea_popescu: now, why
the fuck would chamberlain choose
to only publish a dozen or so of
the compat modules, i couldn't guess. but
the list
there is woefully incomplete,
the story goes back at least
to 2.4 kernels.
mircea_popescu: by
the looks of it, wireless cards on laptops work with os wireless drivers from a 3
to 6 months period around
their release. gotta get
teh right
timing.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-26 00:18 mircea_popescu: in
the end, useless hp box found new life as heroes 2 playstation.
phf: i learned
to jump
through
these hoops for
the motherland
phf: Mocky:
http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/gmsRV/?raw=true you could set
these options in firefox's about:config (there's probably a way
to do it
through gui),
they are self explanatory.
the last one ensures
that dns is routed
through socks.
the first one can be either 1 or 0. i usually just go into about:config and
toggle
that
to 1 when i need socks (there are probably extensions, etc. etc.)
Mocky: yeah mircea_popescu, your level of
text output needs a boost...
mircea_popescu: of course, if
the place you're in makes
this necessary, it is MUCH better
to set ssh on port 80 on
the local machine and just proceed.
phf: it also helps
to have a machine where you have ssh sitting on port 80, for when you are on e.g. hotel internet with a dumb firewall
phf: i assume in
this case your proxy is as secure as your ssh, you can do it on demand, and you can also run it against any of your remote hosts.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-05 22:25 Mocky: a lot of sites are blocked in qatar and i don't know if I'll need it but I'd like
to run a web proxy on my pizarro shared hosting just in case. can someone make a recommendation? do I need something like
tinyproxy or squid, or is
there a way
to do it without installing anything?
phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-05#1858751 << my preferred method is
to `ssh -D 8080 host` which sets up a socks proxy with port 8080 on your local machine and outbound on
the `host`. you can
then configure e.g. firefox
to send everything
through
that proxy

The operation succeeded.
mod6: Perfect,
thanks Sir.
trinque: I'm not gonna be pissed if you can't handle it same day.
Thanks for letting me know.
mod6: And I
think you can just handle
the
thing
then.
Thanks.
mod6: BingoBoingo: Please just enter a bid from yourself on behalf of Pizarro for 1 satoshi more
than I bid.
mod6: trinque: Looks like
the date
that your auction closes I'll be busy and not able
to settle with you myself.
diana_coman: I must say
that I am ...blissfully unaware of it
